BOSTON (AP) — Randal Grichuk lined a two-run double in a three-run 10th inning and Colorado held on to beat the Boston Red Sox 7-6 on Tuesday night, giving the Rockies their second straight win at Fenway Park.

Jurickson Profar added an RBI sacrifice fly in the 10th and as the Rockies improved to 13-21 on the road. They had lost eight of 10 road games before arriving in Boston.

With an automatic runner on second, Justin Garza (0-1) walked Nolan Jones starting the 10th and Grichuk lined the first pitch he saw down the left-field line and Profar boosted the lead to 7-4.

Rafael Devers led off the bottom half against Matt Carasiti with his second two-run homer of the game, his 17th home run this season. After a one-out walk, Pierce Johnson retired Christian Arroyo on a flyout and struck out Reese McGuire for his 12th save in 14 chances.

Elias Díaz hit a three-run double in the third and Brenton Doyle added an RBI double in the fourth as Colorado built a 4-0 lead against Kutter Crawford.

Boston, extended to extra innings in three straight games for the first time since June 25-28, 2000, went 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position and left nine on base. The Red Sox dropped to 33-35, last in the AL East.

Colorado's Chase Anderson allowed three runs and five hits in 4 1/3 innings.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Red Sox: Manager Alex Cora said he is taking INF Kiké Hernández out of the rotation at shortstop one day after Hernández committed his major league-leading 14th error. “I told him this is where we’re at right now and he understands,” Cora said. The Red Sox are still without SS Trevor Story, who is recovering from offseason elbow surgery and said this week he hopes to be able to return as DH in July, possibly taking the field in August.

UP NEXT

Rockies LHP Austin Gomber (4-5, 7.57 ERA) goes up against Red Sox RHP Garrett Whitlock on Wednesday night in the finale of the three-game interleague series.
